Rivers: Governance stands still as nine re-appointed commissioners resign

• Decision to probe Wike led to gale of resignations, group explains• Abe realigns with Wike, says Amaechi non-relevant in Rivers APC

Mmom’s letter read: “I write to formally tender my resignation as a member of the Rivers State Executive Council as the Commissioner for Education with effect from today, May 15, 2024. Also, Nbina, in his letter dated May 15, wrote: “I write to formally tender my resignation as Commissioner for Transport. It has been a privilege to serve in this capacity, and thank Your Excellency for the opportunity to serve our state, which I served dutifully and meritoriously,” the former Transport commissioner added.

Earlier, two others, Alabo Dax-Kelly and Emeka Woke resigned on the grounds of taking up a Federal Government appointment. A former spokesman of the Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, Daniel Bwala, has said Fubara is resorting to self-defence in the face of the political crisis rocking Rivers. Bwala stated this in a statement via his X handle on Wednesday.

The group maintained that the decision to beam the searchlights on successive administrations in the state was in the best interest of the people of Rivers. IN a seeming move to realign the interests of some stakeholders, the 2023 governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party and one of the main actors in Rivers politics, Senator Magnus Abe, has said the reasons for his long fight in Rivers politics was over following the non-relevance of the former Minister of Transportation, Amaechi, in the current All Progressives Congress led by Tony Okocha.

Reacting to the ongoing political imbroglio in Rivers, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, on Wednesday, said Fubara and Wike will settle their quarrel, adding that Nigerians always cried more than the bereaved, while politicians fixed their problems.
